Tushka's building exposure, zone by zone

Where Tushka ranks
Tushka's 87th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 38th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 50 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tushka ranks 3,979 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,427 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 521 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Tushka
Tushka's 87th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.

With 51.3% of Tushka in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
